AMD Phenom X4 Compared to Intel Core 2 Duo in Crysis
There has been a lot of hype surrounding both the AMD Phenom X4 and the AMD RD790. Testers combined both, violated a couple NDAs, and pitted them against current offerings from Intel in one of the most stressing games of all time: Crysis. The chart, if true, speaks for itself...

bottom line is that this is not an official review, niether are the ones on peryn. so we can only wait and see how each will perform in the real world. lol I will say that kinpin smashed the 3d06 record with a peryn at 5.6GHZ (it was up for 48 hours for comparison they he took it down until official launch). any discussion on these cpu's prior to official launch is a waste of breath at this point.
Thats a $280 dual core to a $*** quad..
We will see on full release... I can't imagine AMD letting Intel run the game either...
PS- AMD doesn't need the Cpu market to stay in business, they are into a whole world more than cpu's...
If a business can make a profit by doing something, they will, no questions asked -- it's their sole purpose for existing. Working with the designers of a game you're sponsoring so that it will work better with your processors wouldn't surprise me in the slightest.
...but that's just my opinion as a non-connected outsider. ;)
Right now the Qx6850 runs about 1000 dollars and the pre Phenoms dont even go over 400 dollars.
If youre going to be paying double the price make sure it does double the performances you dopes. :roll:
my god, phenom lost by 5 frames, theyre going to go under now! who will think of the children!?
oh and a qx6850 is hardly the mainstream chip, im not even aware of ANY member of this forum with one, why not make a comparison to a q6600?
Hey im lookin at lesse..... a E6850, a QX6850 and a Qx9650... wow, how wrong i was to bring it up the price differences to the processors you guys built a thread upon... shame on me.
"Dont join a forum to mention my opinion" and then you the gall to say you dont like it either? flame all you want, i brought up a reality point that was not your liking. :)
some lite oc'ing brings the chips very close together it appears that AMDs new chips use the HT a lot more than the old ones because i doubt a ram oc made a 7FPS jump in crysis though even with the extra 50mhz it still falls behind the intel cores about 10fps so maybe a 3.2ghz amd will be even with a 3ghz intel
plus intel generally bench's higher.
Thats just me, and what i think, and i dont want to argue about it.
